Well, assuming this is not just a misunderstanding (be sure to give the benefit of doubt and utilize your communication skills)... if people don't adhere to common courtesies, it's probably time to find a new group.

I thought only GM/DM's can assign character sheets to players.
Like Vince says, before posting on the forums or contacting Roll20 Devs, you need to take the time to explain the situation to the DM. I would be surprised that a DM would take the time to vet players and make a group, only to troll a player and waste the time. If that's what's happening, then show proof to the Devs ...

aisforanagrams said: I thought only GM/DM's can assign character sheets to players. Some GM's have been known to create about a dozen blank sheets and assign them to "all players". This lets players come in and create their character without a GM there. This is one of the pitfalls of this method, character poaching. Contact the GM and discuss this matter with them first but if it does not resolved, email the devs.
I assign blank character sheets to players but not all players.&nbsp; I make one for each player assign it to them and they can create their character anytime without my presence.&nbsp; Not sure why you'd assign it to all players.

As a GM, you might create a bunch of blanks and assign them to All Players before everyone has joined the game.&nbsp; That lets them join and create a character without needing to join, wait for the GM to create them a character, then create the character.
This what happen, I joined the G.M game he have all the character sheet for everyone he didn't assign it to me. Someone use it and when I tell the D.M. about this he didn't do anything. I left the game and I felt he abuse his power for not doing nothing about it. If you guys thinking that I am trolling that tells me that you guys haven't change at all.

I don't think anyone was thinking that. We all were making suggestions on how to correct an issue you first mentioned. If suggesting that you talk to the GM first then the Devs if it was not resolved for you was offensive to you then I apologize.

Hmm.&nbsp; I don't think I'd ever do such a thing because I like to have a session 0 before any character creation happens to make sure we're all on the same page more or less.
The problem is hard to get evidence, since the whole conversation has taking place on discord voice chat.
Hi&nbsp;Mr. Rodriguez, As others have stated, please attempt to contact the GM regarding this matter if possible. If that does not resolve this, please reach out to the devs at&nbsp; <a href="mailto:Team@Roll20.net" rel="nofollow">Team@Roll20.net</a> I am going to close this thread. Thank you!
